The Russia Investigation: Trump Pardons Flynn (5 Viewers)

"Paul, the best I can do is make sure you end up in state prison instead of federal prison" is not likely to be a welcome phone call.
This may be best asked to the historians here - but when was the last time someone who was issued a Presidential Pardon was later tried and convicted for state crimes arising out of the same conduct?

Has it ever happened?

Seems unlikely to happen here either.

Trump and the NRA used the same consultants to spearhead TV ad blitzes during the '16 election, possibly in violation of federal law, MoJo reports. "This is very strong evidence, if not proof, of illegal coordination," said an ex-FEC general counsel.

I'm losing track of the federal laws this guy has broken. What are we up to now? 30?  35?   Yes folks, he's STILL our President.

Right, so what. They break all kinds of federal laws. Big deal.

Remind me again - who provided a lot of money to the NRA in 2016?

 
Irrationally undermining confidence in news media helps aspiring fascists. To the extent Greeenwald is doing that he's helping them. 

The news media is gonna make mistakes sometimes. That's always been the case and it always will be.  I actually think the system worked well here- a bit of skepticism was warranted, and that skepticism spread quickly and ultimately forced the Guardian into editorial changes to the story.

As for the establishment press pushing phony narratives and getting facts wrong "almost always in the same direction," I would say that I strongly disagree.
The ones undermining confidence in the media, are the media themselves, not those calling them out for it.

peoeple aren’t mistrusting the media because somebody told them to mistrust the media. People are weighing the messages delivered by the media against reality and making up their own minds.

Also, if Flynn did all that, he shroud do time behind bars. I don't care if he flipped and takes down DJT.  He acted poorly on many occasions, only trying to enrich himself at the cost of doing damage to the country and her allies.

If you can do time for smoking a joint, then this guy can do time for being his efforts to undermine this country.

Trump panic level at 11...what’s he so nervous about??  It’s a witch hunt right? So there should be nothing to see.

Why..., I'm just shocked!  Who could have seen that coming?

I wonder what's coming?  :grad:

 
Sentencing reports on Cohen and Manafort, followed by unsealing of outstanding indictments, and the final report on Unindicted President #1?  Not sure it makes sense to do them all at once, but the order seems right and it certainly seems like Trump's tipping us off to the release of the final report.

Just in: WH chief of staff John Kelly "is expected to resign in the coming days," @kaitlancollins reports, citing two sources. Trump and Kelly "have stopped speaking in recent days." And "Trump is actively discussing a replacement plan."
Huh.  If you were someone who'd only stayed in the job to try and help your country, when would you resign?

You wouldn’t resign (he should have been documenting everything though to protect himself), but I’d posit he wasn’t there just to help the country.

Andrew McCabe, who was targeted by Trump relentlessly until Sessions fired him earlier this year just days before he was set to retire/eligible to receive a pension, opened an obstruction of justice investigation into Trump after Comey's firing, per @CNN.

Bruce Ohr’s wife’s name is Nellie. 

 
Trump was given a heads up the night before on the Flynn memo and proceeded to go on a twitter rant.  I have to think the same exact thing happened here but it's far worse based on his late night tweets last night and his freak out text string this morning.  He knows generally what's coming is doing his best to try and discredit the messengers.....at  least it's Friday (and I didn't play against Henry last night...)

Weird that he did not tweet about the Jobs report before it was released like he has done in the past..

 
Hannity for Chief of Staff, Tucker Carlson for AG....how soon until he takes the entire Fox cast and crew to work in the cabinet?
